The AirTAC SAUD Double Rod Cylinder SAUD100X100 is a genuine double-acting profile-type standard air cylinder with a Ø100mm bore and 100mm stroke, 1/2" air ports and adjustable end cushioning. Its hard-anodized aluminum-profile barrel is shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, and it shares SC-series mounting accessories.
The AirTAC SAUD100X100 is a double-acting, double-rod profile cylinder. Because a rod exits both ends, the push and pull output is identical, delivering 3681 N of force each way at 0.5 MPa. This 100 mm bore unit runs on a 1/2 inch port and features a 29 mm adjustable air cushion at each end.
The extruded aluminum body is noticeably shorter than an ISO 15552 cylinder of the same bore, saving machine space without losing power. This non-magnet SKU cannot host a sensor switch, but the twin rods provide rigid anti-twist guidance.

Double-rod model: the rod passes through the rear cover, so both piston faces lose rod area and push is shown at the annular-area value. Actual usable force is lower than theoretical due to friction and back-pressure. Size with a safety margin.

Drives two synchronized machining spindles from one piston, ensuring perfectly balanced feed rates without torsional deflection.
Pushes a workpiece from one conveyor lane to another using the front rod, while the back rod simultaneously retracts a diverter gate.
Select this 100 mm bore if your application requires 3681 N of equal bidirectional force at 0.5 MPa. Sizing down, the 80 mm bore yields 2268 N both ways; sizing up requires a custom or larger framework. The double-rod architecture is ideal for anti-rotation tasks, mounting twin tooling, or carrying a switch cam on the back rod. Mounting is limited to Basic, FA flange, and LB foot styles, matching the AirTAC SC series. Add the -S suffix if you need magnetic sensing. For this 100 mm stroke, side loads are minimal, but always use external guides for strokes over 300 mm.
Quick checklist
The force is equal in both directions because it is a double-rod design. It outputs 3681 N at 0.5 MPa, 5153 N at 0.7 MPa, and 6626 N at 0.9 MPa. Never expect a larger single-rod push value from this unit.
No, a plain SAUD cylinder does not hold a load if air pressure drops or the valve is centered. The 29 mm adjustable cushion only decelerates the piston near the stroke ends. For secure load holding, you must install an external rod lock or a pilot-operated check valve.
